UPDATE: roots appear to coming in nicely. I added some basil to propagate and will be potting these all shortly!

First time propagating my baby spider plants. Looks like I’m seeing roots forming! Should I wait another week or so to add to soil? Any tips are appreciated!

Wait a couple weeks until the roots are 2-3 inches long

Yes to the 2-3 inches thing, and also wait until there’s some secondary roots!
